Boards from the 1970s and 80s
Homes from the growth years may be on boards with few safety switches. An upgrade adds circuit breakers and leaves room for an EV charger later.

About Lavington
It was known as Black Range before it took the Lavington name, and it joined the City of Albury in the 1950s, with Union Road marking the old boundary. Much of the city's growth after the early 1970s happened here, once the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation got going.
Shops cluster around Griffith, Wagga and Urana Roads. The 2021 Census counted 5,469 occupied homes, the most of any Albury suburb, with 39% rented and a median age of 40.
